McGuinness

Martin McGuinness-invisible man

Readers will know that I have been asking questions of the PSNI and PPS in respect of the murders of my parents. That process is now complete.

Police repeated the following to the PPS, in respect of Ed Maloney’s assertion that McGuinness approved the murder of my parents. They told the PPS Senior Assistant Director:

“there is no evidential basis or intelligence available to link him with the murder of [my] parents”

How can any sane democracy countenance this from the police?

In the coming days I will set out , point by point , person by person, the allegations against him. If the police are correct , then :

[a] they have been incompetent for 25 years, or

[b] a range of people , from senior politicians in the Republic to veteran journalists in Northern Ireland have indulged in a fantasy.

Just to add, I will not be deflected from this campaign despite any Sinn Fein/IRA inspired journalism.

 

McGuinness and Raymond Gilmour

Raymond Gilmour, special branch informer, has much to say , in his book, about Martin McGuinness. Gilmour has requested a meeting with the PSNI. It is reported that he wishes to give evidence against McGuinness in respect of a number of murders.

The PSNI have refused to tell me whether or not  a meeting is scheduled or has in fact taken place.

Denis Donaldson, an imaginary conversation?

January 1990

Handler: “Denis , the big bosses want an update. Who is on the Army Council at present?

Denis: “Gerry, Pat Doherty, head of intelligence; Joe Cahill, Martin McGuinness, Kevin McKenna, Mickey McKevitt and Slab.”

Handler: “Great, and is McGuinness still head of Northern Command?”

Denis:”Of course”

In Policing the Shadows, by Holland and Phoenix, a book written posthumously about Ian Phoenix, who was in RUC Special Branch, the authors state at page 215: “most of the information gathered on the paramilitaries and their links lay idle in police files and was never exploited”

Moral of the story: a succession of Chief Constables ignored [or were instructed to ignore] the activities of PIRA senior figures because of the “peace process”. Alternatively, McGuinness was “the Fisherman” a tout and therefore untouchable. As one commentator has said, why sacrifice Donaldson at the time of the Stormont arrests unless the State had higher placed informants?

McGuinness and others, the need to prosecute

When a “volunteer” attaches a bomb below a retired policeman’s car in Belfast, he [or she] is the last person in a chain that stretches back to PIRA  Northern Command and perhaps beyond. Volunteers did not go out and plant bombs on a whim. The police officer will have been targeted. The area will have been scouted and his movements monitored. Other Republicans, such as staff in hospitals, may have given vital information. The proposal to kill X will then be put up the chain and approved by the head of Northern Command, in 1990, McGuinness. The under car booby trap bomb will be made by one of a small group of people and authorisation given for it to be delivered to the active service unit who will be responsible for going out and placing it.

Each person in the chain is complicit in the eventual murder.

I have asked the Chief Constable a series of questions relating to the above scenario. So far he has declined to give me any meaningful  answers.

Soon I will set out the questions and readers may judge for themselves.

Too many victims have been fobbed off by the RUC, PSNI and HET with the excuse that there are “no evidential opportunities”. It all depends on where you look.

Martin McGuinness mass murderer

A big thank you to the Irish News and Allison Morris for publishing my allegations of murder by Martin McGuinness. If you will bear with me I will develop  this in the next few days. I’m sure that the editor of the Irish News will follow events with excitement.

A big shout out too , to Allison’s  dissident IRA partner Fernando Murphy [do you hear the drums ,Fernando?]

One can only speculate on the provenance of today’s article.

Barra McGrory, the burden of his past; part II

Paul Given, the chairman of the Stormont justice committee has got it wrong. The DPP is correct in his decision not to publish the Attorney’s report . Liam Adams’ conviction is to be appealed and is therefore sub judice.

It exposes Mr Given’s lack of understanding [shocking for the chairman of the justice committee] and his poor choice of subject. McGrory is a Director holed below the waterline as a result of his extensive representation of Sinn Fein/PIRA. He is excluded from participation in many prosecutorial decisions because of this.

If Given had any wit he would have made a better fist of this resignation demand by citing more compelling cases , such as the failure to prosecute McGuinness .

Barra McGrory, the burden of his past

When some distant but important connections were established in relation to Butler-Sloss and Wolff; in respect of the child abuse enquiry, both, quite properly, resigned.

In Northern Ireland the senior prosecutor is unable to take part in the most important decisions in respect of the prosecution of republicans because of his former professional life.

Nobody seems to think that this is important.

Perhaps it is time for the Director of Public Prosecutions to do the honourable thing?

An open letter to the Army Council

Dear Army Council,

I don’t have your postal address, so forgive me for using this method of correspondence. I hope that one of you might read this before heading out to the Felons’ Club.

To set everyone’s mind at rest and to stop unreasonable allegations, I wonder if you would confirm that:

1. Gerry Adams was never a member of the IRA.

2. Martin McGuinness left you in the 1970’s, was a terribly bad shot and was never on the Army Council.

A simple reply to my blog will suffice.

Martin McGuinness-the murderer’s files being examined?

When Barra McGrory replied to my request for an investigation into McGuinness, regarding the murders of my parents, he said: “I have no reason to believe that there has not been a very thorough and comprehensive investigation of their deaths” That was when it had slipped his mind that at all material times he had been McGuinness’s lawyer.

That reply  was last May, now, five months on, I am told that the PSNI and the PPS are to meet to discuss my concerns and allegations.

New inquests -a level playing field for unionists?

Readers may recall that Barra McGrory, on the basis of a Panorama programme, requested the Chief Constable to investigate the behaviour of the Army. When I asked him to carry out a similar exercise in respect of Martin McGuinness, he refused, then said that he had not refused , then delegated the decision to a senior member of his department.

Now the Attorney General has decided, on the basis of the same programme , to order new inquests into the deaths of Daniel Rooney and Patrick McVeigh.

I have today requested that the A-G order fresh inquests into the murders of my parents on the basis of extensive publications , over the years, asserting that McGuinness was head of northern command PIRA and that he approved the murders of my parents. I also request that the voluminous State intelligence on McGuinness is made available to the Coroner.

Let’s see how even handed the response is.
